Planning application

Flat 9 Kent House 240 Kew Road Kew Richmond TW9 3JX

Granted Richmond upon Thames 23/T0157/TCA Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Crown reduction of about 1.5 metres - Pruning will result in Crown reduction of height by 1.5-2metres and width reduction by 1.5-2metres, leaving a canopy spread of 3 metres and height of 5 metres - from one sycamore tree at the front of Kent House, 240 Kew Road. The tree is situated within the curtilage of Kent House at the corner of Kew Road and Holmesdale Road. The reduction is only of new growth from the last pruning, approved by your office 3 years ago in 2020. This is to prevent growth over the adjoining pavements and roads and towards the structure of Kent House. This sycamore tree grows very rapidly. See attached plan and photograph.
